BT light user scheme call charges

diamonds

anyone know the call charges for all call types?

cant find it anywhere

i only use BT for my bt alarm system, but very very unoccasionally need dial up for when Telebest-Virgin goes down

need to set up a dialup provider

hurrah

Their is no difference in the call charges to normal BT service.(Option 1 etc).

But if you have a line used exclusively for a burglar alarm (this does not include "lifeline" alarm systems which are also used as telephones. Or if you have a line with someone else. You dont qualify.

Light User Scheme charges are here. They are not the same as BT Together ones. On LUS you pay different rates for local and national calls and on Together you pay the same. Other discounts also apply.

that if you have a mobile phone with a company completely unconnected to BT you dont qualify?

£12 a month for a line rental only is a monopolistic ripoff, considering how much i pay for unlimited broadband, mobiles etc.
I guess the lite user scheme is a requirement set by government but hidden away and made as dificult as possible to qualify for by BT without incurring the wrath of the toothless telcoms regualtor OFTEL who are as nearly as useless and on the bosses side as ICSTIS, rant over. - apologies

That is correct. Same goes for internet access, you can't have that either.

Welcome back James.

BT no longer has a monopoly - many other providers now offer line rental (some even charge less than BT too).

BTW, Oftel ceased to exists some years ago - Ofcom took over (and is just as useless).
